    Nightmare was released not very long before my dad passed away. Hell, “So Far Away” actually came on the radio as we were driving to the hospital to say goodbye to him the day he was taken off life support. That album meant more to me than I can express. To hear those lyrics and to know that I wasn’t the only one that had experienced that kind of pain kept me sane. I knew that you could hurt that bad but still find a way to move forward and keep living your life. And I know I’m not the only one that that album had that effect on. I hope one day I get the chance to thank the guys of A7X personally!

    I'm so glad you guys finally got an A7X member to do this. Lol. I remember discovering Avenged through my older brother when I was about 10 years old. He was a big fan, I knew who they were, but I never really listened to them. Believe it or not, the first song I heard by them was Beast and the Harlot, and I heard it on Guitar Hero 2. Man, that feels like a million years ago. LOL!! I was watching my brother play the game one day, and he played that song, and I was hooked after that. Lol. I've been a huge fan ever since. I even got the Deathbat tattooed on my back two years ago for my 20th birthday. It's crazy that I've been a fan for so long, especially since I'm turning 22 next month. Holy crap. Time really does fly by. They played a crucial part in my middle school and high school years, among other bands. Lol. :P
    I'm gonna see them live in Denver next month, and it'll be my 7th time seeing them. Holy shit. That still blows my mind. Lol. But then again, I haven't missed a show since 2010. But I'm excited. I know it'll be one hell of a show. :D

    My mind was immediately blown when he mentioned Sonata Arctica. I always thought it would be interesting to see A7x's thoughts on power/symphonic metal because I believe they would appreciate the musical mastery and a lot of the elements those genres bring. Plus Nightwish & Sonata Arctica are my top two favorite bands, so this genuinely just made my day that he knows about them and has heard their music :').
